WHERE LIFE - AND TRAVEL - COME TOGETHER

Sunday, November 20, 2016

Several hundred years ago, Batavia was a walled settlement for the Dutch East India Company that became their dominant hub of a thriving shipping spice trade for centuries to come.

About Us

In 2009, it was the little things that started nudging us towards re-evaluating our lives. We honestly questioned what we were doing. We compared who we were now with who we wanted to be and what we wanted to be doing. As a result, we made some profound changes.

We decided that our long-held goal of slowly traveling the world - living for a month or two in locations that interested us - should become a reality now instead of waiting for some other time in the future. So, we planned, saved, and downsized.

Finally, on October 30, 2012, we set off to explore this vast and fascinating world of ours.

For us, travel is truly one of the best ways to be actively curious, to meet extraordinary people, to experience other cultures and ways of life, and to try and understand a little bit better the unpredictable adventure comprising this journey we call life.

This blog chronicles that adventure: our observations, the ups, the downs, the laughter and the occasionally anxious moments. It's our story, and we invite you to share this journey we call life with us.
